Dear Riot: What's this Champion's Role?

He has almost 4HP and he's able to do this amount of burst

What's his role? Front line? Burst source? Either? Both at the same time? I'm sorry but I can't understand how can balance be a world where a champion at almost 4K HP can do over 2000 damage on a single combo.

Garen with item 3078 LOL. He must've been fed af

Garen with that build barely breaks 3.3k HP. He's also packing almost no MR.

So it's alright to have over 3K HP and be able to burst for 2K That's the idea of "Balance"

Alright. I got nothing.

I don't know why you decided to necro this post, but pretty much every non support champion can fulfill the above two requirements. Karthus with RoA and Rylai's outputs a sustained 950 damage per second with an AOE slow. Similarly Malphite can burst you for 1.8k before you even hit the ground.

You let a Garen get fed, you let a Garen get to build no MR, you let a Garen get close to you and spin close to full duration without any sort of CC. It's not a problem with balance.

Garen ultimate does 525+40% of your missing health. Also, based on the damage you took from those abilities, let's assume you are somewhat squishy. In order for Garen ult to do that much, you would have to have lost at least 2000 health to take that much damage. What are you not telling us?

Any bruiser/fighter can do this if left unattended. Also, thats just what garen is. Q in > W-E around a bit > ult face > regen with a passive. rinse repeat. Also, his ult passive is quite nice to assist in getting that damage out fast.

P.S. Runes and Masteries are handy.item 3460

He is juggernaut.

Also, he does a lot of damage to his villain. So you shouldn't fight him if that's you.

based on the fact that the ult did magic damage id say he wasnt the villain.

Does it show up as true damage in the death recap screen, though? I mean, we all know it's extremely faulty. Like someone said, he would have to have been missing like 2k health at that point for his ult to do that much (probably with 0 MR which is like, no). So we have to assume he was decently tanky. I just don't see the damage adding up. Was probably photoshopped. Especially since unless he is posting this game from a smurf account, there is no record of an enemy Garen with that build against him in games dating back to January (gave up looking).

Probably another fake farm for upvotes post.

I don't think you'd need to be missing that much HP for a Garen ult to do 800 damage. If we assume his target somehow had 0 MR then only 275 of the ult's damage is down to the % missing HP and by my calculations you'd only need 700 missing HP for the missing HP damage to account for that.

Of course, MR is a thing that exists so numbers are higher but I'm going to assume that Garen was targeting a somewhat squishy target who didn't have much more HP missing than what Garen had taken off with his QE. I reckon Garen 100-0'd with QER.

As someone else pointed out though, the Garen in that game did look fed (Tri Force) and by his standarsds, had built a suprising amount of damage. Trinity Force, Hexdrinker and Sterak's all have AD attached.

Yeah, my gut tells me to call bullshit until he posts the game lol.

Well for one with 691 damage dealt with judgement, after armor is calculated, you should stop sitting in his spin or getting caught.
